Limit a member to some projects

By default a member sees every project in the team. If someone should only work on a few, give them limited access: they see just the projects you pick, and nothing else from the team shows up in their sidebar, search, Today, reports, notifications or activity.

  1. Open Settings, then Members
    Each person shows a chip with what they see: All projects, or the number of projects.
  2. Click the chip, or Project access in the menu
  3. Choose Only selected projects and tick the projects
    Save. The change applies right away.

You can also set this when you invite a member, or add and remove people from one project with the Share button at the top of the project.

Transfer ownership

A team has exactly one owner, who manages billing and can delete the team. To hand it over, choose Make owner on another person. You become an admin.
